If you use someone else's Netflix password, you are violating federal criminal law.
Every PBM who registers for a new account on BO is committing a federal crime by doing so.

So that Jeb Bush guy was pretty great.

Very true. I don't know how a man feels to be called a b. That is actually the only thing I get offended over being called. Probably because my mom made such a strong emphasis about it when growing up. I also think name calling is pretty juvenile and one of the biggest reasons I dislike election season.

We try to teach our kids to treat others with respect and not to bully but look at how adults treat each other.

I was simply quoting a rap lyric. I wasn't calling you a b.

Yea because sharing Netflix passwords and creating multiple BO account are TOTALLY the same as illegally handling state secrets some people....

I won't even get into the large amount of double standards women have to put up with daily. I was playing around. I wasn't intending to call anyone the b word.

No you're not. You are allowed multiple users with netflix.

I know YOU were playing around but there's plenty of women who throw it around (and it's not just the b word it's plenty other things as well) and then cry foul as soon as it comes back to them

When she is ok with a certain member or she said it by herself, it is from the rap lyrics. When she does not like someone, it is just pure hate.

I can see how that would be very frustrating. I try to be as straight forward as possible and always say what I mean. As a women, it’s very hard to find the right balance though. Our whole lives we are told these gender based things as I am sure men are like men don't cry. I feel like for there to be true understanding we need to focus less on our differences and more on our similarities.

Whoa whoa whoa. Just how many women are you?

I am confused at to what point you are trying to make. I don't dislike anyone on this site. I think you are missing the point I was trying to make and that's ok. You specifically said but its in rap lyrics. I thought you were playing around. I was going with the flow. No pun intended.

The problem is that 4th wave feminism is just trying to widen that divide instead of close it. 4th wave feminists have this impression that all men are horrible pigs and they must be stopped! We will never achieve true gender equality the way things are going

Well, GJ and the Green Party aren't ever going to ideologically align, but i wholly support anyone that wants to vote for Dr. Stein.

Frankly, I find the line, "I voted for so-and-so because they were the lesser of 2 evils" completely and utterly repulsive. It's completely cowardly to say that. It furthers the status quo of stagnation and division. It's YOUR vote. Stand for something other than, "not that guy/gal"...

Sorry that second paragraph obviously isn't directed at Josie. Just something I feel strongly about, and as someone that's tired of the same abhorrent rhetoric I can't keep that to myself.

I haven't even heard of 4th wave feminism. I will have to read about it.

I am raising two young men. I don't think men are pigs at all. I hope one day we achieve true gender equality and I think it is possible but probably not in my lifetime, sadly.

I respect the hell out of this statement
